The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket!

The sudden appearance of Gu Moyan made Miss Xu afraid to stay here any longer. She immediately looked at the somewhat startled Tang Zijin: "Zijin, did you fall anywhere?"

Tang Zijin calmed her emotions and shook her head: "Sister Xu, I'm fine."

Miss Xu: "That's good. Since the flowers at this mountainside are picked and planted by others, we should leave quickly."

Tang Zijin nodded: "Okay."

Saying this, she and Miss Xu descended the mountain together.

Before stepping on the stone steps, Tang Zijin couldn't help but look back in the direction where Gu Moyan and Erha disappeared.

The young lord didn't recognize her, it seems he has forgotten her!

Tang Zijin felt a bit lost and was somewhat silent on the way down the mountain.

Miss Xu talked a bit more: "That young gentleman just now seemed familiar, as if I had seen him at some gathering." Seeing that Tang Zijin didn't respond, knowing that the Tang family had just arrived in Zhongzhou, she didn't mind and changed the subject.

"By the way, Zijin, you understand pharmacology? I've heard of Du Zhong, but don't know what it looks like."

Tang Zijin smiled and nodded: "When I was young in Xiliang, I learned for a period from an elder, who had many medicinal herbs planted in his field."

The two descended the mountain while chatting. With something on her mind, Tang Zijin did not join Miss Xu and the other girls for fun, but rather returned to Madam Tang's side, sitting quietly and daydreaming beside her.

After returning to the residence, Tang Zijin took out the glass puppy and looked at it for a while.

She didn't expect to meet Gu Moyan so soon, but unfortunately, he didn't remember her at all.

Thinking of wanting to inquire about past events, Tang Zijin smiled wryly at herself. If he doesn't even remember her, how could he possibly remember things from the past?

Tang Zijin stayed by Madam Tang's side, learning how to manage household affairs, and only after several days did she put the encounter with Gu Moyan behind her, beginning to focus on her studies.

She had just settled her mind, when unexpectedly, the next day, Master Tang received a reply from Taohua Mountain.

It turns out that when Master Tang arrived in Zhongzhou, after completing the handover at the Governor's Office, he sent a post to Taohua Mountain, saying that he wished to pay a visit to the old Duke Gu.

When he was an official in Xiliang, because of frequent visits to Prince Residence Weiyuan, Master Tang had been summoned by Gu Jian a few times and was fortunate to dine at the same table. Now that he's in Zhongzhou, both reason and courtesy dictate that he should pay a visit.

In Lady Tang's room, Master Tang smiled at Tang Zixin and Tang Zijin: "You two sisters prepare yourselves, the day after tomorrow, you'll accompany me to Taohua Mountain to pay respects to the old Duke."

Upon hearing this, Tang Zixin's face showed delight, while Tang Zijin's face did show a bit of shock. She would be meeting the young lord again?

Lady Tang looked at Madam Tang: "I have two pieces of cloud brocade here, one for each of Zixin and Zijin. Later, have the sewing room people make new clothes for the sisters, and make sure they are ready before the day after tomorrow."

"The Emperor and Crown Prince are also staying at Taohua Mountain. Although they may not be seen, we must not lose our manners and must dress the two girls properly."

Madam Tang showed a flicker of emotion as she looked at Master Tang and Lady Tang.

The young lord is accompanying the old Duke Gu at Taohua Mountain, has come of age this year, and it's said he is still not betrothed. With Sir and Mother-in-law taking such care to bring Zixin and Zijin along, could they have some idea in mind?

To be honest, the young lord is indeed a great choice for a son-in-law, with a good family background, handsome appearance, good character, devoid of any dissipated airs of nobility, and most importantly, the Princess Consort is exceptionally understanding. Such a mother-in-law is what every girl desires.

If this could truly happen, it would be a great blessing for both their daughter and the Tang family.

Thinking of this, Madam Tang's heart was moved, quickly looking at her daughter, who was fifteen this year. It was indeed time to talk about marriage.

However, looking at Tang Zixin beside Tang Zijin, Madam Tang's face sank again.

The Tang daughters are all quite good-looking, but when the two sisters stand together, it is always the more lively and bright-looking Zixin that draws more attention.

Looking at her daughter's round face, Madam Tang sighed. A round face, round eyes, along with a soft temperament, gives a somewhat silly impression.

Forget it, the young lord's status is too high, and this marriage is entirely beyond their control. Now it's better not to think too much about it.

Afterward, Lady Tang and others still had things to discuss, so Tang Zijin and Tang Zixin were asked to leave first.

After exiting the room, Tang Zijin intended to return to her own courtyard, but Tang Zixin stopped her: "Big sister, is something the matter?"

Tang Zixin looked over Tang Zijin. In terms of looks, she had always been confident she could outshine Tang Zijin. However, Tang Zijin was not without her merits; her doll-like face could win more affection from outsiders, a trait she couldn't compare with.

Otherwise, back in Xiliang, the young lord and the princess wouldn't have preferred to play with Tang Zijin.

She was already seventeen this year, and in the past two years, her grandmother had been looking for potential partners, but unfortunately, none satisfied her. Now her father has become the Provincial Governor of Zhongzhou, and the young lord, too, is in Zhongzhou to care for the old Duke. She believed this was a fate bestowed by the heavens to her.

She understood her father's and grandmother's intentions from earlier as well. Bringing her and Tang Zijin to Taohua Mountain, they surely had thoughts of a matrimonial connection with the Duke's Residence.

While she felt she could surpass Tang Zijin in many ways, she still felt a bit insecure. Over the years, though she played well with the daughters of several families, she didn't have any genuine best friends. Yet, Tang Zijin had several confidantes.

What if the Princess Consort preferred someone silly and cute?

She had to find a way to stop her from coveting the young lord!

"Second sister, do you think the young lord will remember us?"

Tang Zijin paused for a moment: "The young lord has so many playmates, he probably doesn't remember us anymore."

Tang Zixin hesitated briefly, then laughed: "It's just as well that he doesn't remember. I still remember when you angered the young lord, and he declared that you were no longer welcome at the Prince Residence, showing just how much he was angered by you."

Upon hearing this, Tang Zijin's expression immediately changed.

Tang Zixin continued: "Our family has just arrived in Zhongzhou, with an unstable foundation. If we could gain the protection of the old Duke and the young lord, Father would surely be able to establish himself quickly."

"Therefore, when we get to Taohua Mountain, do not approach the young lord. If he recalls the childhood incident where you angered him and takes it out on our family, you would be the sinner of the Tang family."

Successfully seeing Tang Zijin's face turn pale, Tang Zixin left with a smile.

After she walked away, Zu Xin finally spoke: "Miss, don't listen to the eldest miss. In Xiliang, the young lord clearly liked you. It's outrageous for the eldest miss to call you a sinner of the Tang family!"

Tang Zijin looked at Tang Zixin's back: "Elder sister is warning me not to compete with her for the young lord."

Zu Xin frowned: "Why should she?" She said, snorted, "Even without you, the young lord wouldn't like the eldest miss."

"Back in Xiliang, this maid clearly saw it, although the eldest miss was closer in age to the young lord and the princess, they didn't like to play with her."

Tang Zijin was silent for a moment: "Do not speak of this again." With that, she turned and headed toward her own courtyard.
